SaunaLab Kanda — a forest, a pond and a tub sauna under an office building

Introduction

Sauna as a way to get your body's senses back

Rather than the usual uniform sauna room, the aim was a place that gives more people a reason to try sauna.

Starting from the question of what it means to wake your wild side and regain your body's senses, only what was needed went into the space. Placing it next to a workspace and a gallery brings sauna closer to everyday life.

01 · Entrance

Down to the basement and reception

SaunaLab is on the first basement floor of Kanda Port Building.

Men's and women's areas are separate, and there is also a shared rest space.

02 · Sauna rooms

Forest, tub, pond and solo

Besides the main FOREST SAUNA there is the tub-shaped OKE SAUNA, the IKE SAUNA where a pond surrounds the tatami, and KARAFURO for one person.

Sauna rooms of very different character sit side by side.

03 · Ice room

Minus 25 °C instead of a cold bath

Instead of a cold-water bath there is an ice room kept at minus 25 °C.
